How to Make Simple Seedy Slaw
List these healthy slaw recipes. It's proof that sometimes, the simplest ingredients can make the simplest recipes.
Take cheap cabbage, with all its powerful antioxidants, and stir it in carrots, the standard vegetable full of beta carotene. Drizzle over a simple garlicky lemon sauce (no mayonnaise or vinegar here). For extra texture and savory flavor, add some freshly roasted seeds to the combination. Baking all of them makes a difference.

Ta da! You have a colorful coleslaw that's full of fresh flavors and incredible health benefits.
This slaw is one of my favorite simple side dishes, so I'm sharing it today with updated photos in the hope that it will grab your attention again. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to four days, so it's a breeze thanks to adding a burst of fresh color and flavor to your meals.
Of course, this slaw goes well with veggie burgers and main baked goods in the summer. it might even be awesome with my vegetarian chilies, sandwiches of any kind, and rich foods that need something light for balance (even mac and cheese).
Healthy Coleslaw Preparation Tips
It's easier to slice the cabbage with a mandoline (affiliate link) than it is with a sharp knife, but this will often be done. Be Careful. If you're in a rush, buy a 12-ounce bag of slaw at the store.
For the prettiest grated carrots, use a peeler or spiralizer. If you don't have one, an old clear box grater or grid joint in your kitchen utensils will work just fine. Or, grab a bag of grated carrots at the store!
Last but not least, I'm using three-quarters of a cup of the seed mix here, but you'll definitely get it with a little bit more. Whichever seeds you use, and how much you use them, don't skip the roasting step! Just keep an eye on those little seeds as they will get too hot in an instant.
Please give me these slaw recipe skills for you in the comments! I've always wanted to hear how you wanted my recipe.
